Trainer of Choice

The Cessna Skyhawk® is the ultimate training aircraft and the most popular single-engine aircraft ever built. With the Garmin® G1000™ and GFC 700 autopilot, it delivers an intuitive cockpit experience matched with a highly durable air-frame with forgiving flying characteristics. This superior platform is ideally suited to learn the skills needed to become a true pilot in command.

Interior

High-class passenger comfort

Pilots and passengers of the Skyhawk will enjoy high-quality leather, contoured seats, customized LED lighting, advanced soundproofing, as well as top-rate multilevel ventilation and air controls. An optional satellite radio offers ongoing entertainment with your favorite music or radio shows.

Avionics

An aircraft that almost flies itself

Accept nothing less than excellence

Our engineering team designed the Skyhawk’s cockpit with the latest in avionic
technology and the most advanced application of ergonomic sciences available.
The flight deck is powered by the Garmin G1000® avionics suite,
including optional integrated Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) and an
automatic flight control system. Two 10.4-inch, high-resolution liquid crystal
displays show flight instrumentation, traffic data, digital altitude, moving
maps, navigation, communication, and other real-time flight-critical data.

See the future

The
Skyhawk’s flight deck can include the optional Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology
(SVT™), which offers sophisticated graphics modeling of terrain, traffic, and
obstacles in the flight path. The system looks at the entire flight path via
satellite and renders a three-dimensional “virtual reality” landscape, which is
displayed on one or both primary flight displays. This technology prepares you for
what lies ahead in plenty of time to plan for it and gives you a clear visual
of any traffic around your aircraft, even in solid IFR (instrument flight
rules) or nighttime VFR (visual flight rules) conditions.

Digital weather radar

With the optional GDL 69A data link receiver and a subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather, you will see a high-resolution representation of the weather along your flight path on your high-resolution primary flight display. The GDL 69 offers NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, lightning, and more that you can layer directly over optional Jeppesen or standard topographic map databases. Global weather information is available through the optional GSR 56, which connects you to the Iridium satellite network. Voice and text messaging connectivity as well as position reporting and digital color radar data are included.

Performance and passion make dreams take flight

Detailed Specifications

Performance data is based on the standard Skyhawk configuration, operating in International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions with zero wind. Takeoff and landing field lengths are based on a level, hard surface and dry runway.

Actual performance will vary with factors such as environmental conditions, aircraft configuration and operational/ATC procedures.
